Brendon's POV
• ❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀ • ❀ •

Dallon fixing my tail had definitely hurt. The fins were super sensitive, and it almost felt as though I had a cut on my real skin. I didn't know if the tear would ever heal, but I knew it would eventually stop hurting.

Dallon picks me up and takes me out of the thing he called a bathtub. I was a bit cautious at first, since I didn't really know how long I was gonna be out of the water, but I pushed that thought to the back of my head.

He takes me to a larger room, way bigger than the one we had just been in previously, and he grabs a cloth type thing that he described to me as a towel. He set the towel on the floor of the big room, before setting me down on it, the fins on my tail being a little longer than the towel, but he didn't say anything about it so I presumed it was fine.

I flipped my tail up a little so I could actually see what he did to it, cocking my head slightly, and I was gonna ask him what it was, but he had already started talking before I had the chance.

"This is the TV," he says, pointing to a large box looking thing that's grey, and it seems like it could be fragile, since it was hanging up.

I nod a little as he shows me, though I don't understand how I'm supposed to watch it.

Suddenly, Dallon reaches over and grabs a small thing and it looks like it had tons of buttons on it, and it was almost the same grey as the TV, maybe it was even black.

"You use this to turn it on," Dallon says, and he shows me a button on the little device before he presses it. I don't know what to expect so I cock my head and look up at the TV.

It almost bursts to life, and I gasp, the sudden noises scaring me a bit, and I bring my arms up to cover myself, not noticing Dallon's frown.

"Bren, hey, it's okay. It's not gonna hurt you, see?" He tells me softly, and he presses another button and the noise from the box seems to get quieter. I slowly pull my arms away from myself and I look up at it, gasping as I see all the pretty pictures on it.

"It's p-pretty!" I say, sitting up a bit and I flap my tail like I would in the water, since I'm still not used to being out of it.

"Yeah, and look, you can also change the channel," Dallon said, pressing a button and making the pictures on the TV change, becoming completely new pictures.

"Ch-Channel?" I ask, and he nods.

I nod after him, and I feel like I'm actually starting to understand!

He hands me the small device, and I look at it, cocking my head as I run my fingers over the small buttons, I wonder if I could press all of them!

"That's called a remote," Dallon tells me, and I nod. "You can use it to turn it on and off, and to change the channels. You can even turn the sound up and down, if it ends up being too loud for you."

I nod.

"Alright, I think you got it. I'm going to go and make breakfast, okay? You can put whatever you want on, then I'll get you back to the water. Does that sound good?" Dallon asks.

I nod, and I flap my tail a little in approval, something that makes me giggle.

Dallon laughs, and nods, before he walks off to another room that's out of my sight. I pout slightly but that's okay, I knew he would come back so I would be fine.

I try to shift a little on the towel, but my scales keep getting caught so I decide against doing that for now as I start to focus on and mess with the 'remote' as Dallon called it. I refrain from pressing the buttons unless they're the ones that he showed me, since I didn't wanna mess anything up.
